Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coconut fibre bootwiper made with twisted in brush coconut fibre rods fixed to a galvanized steel wire frame and rigidly interconnected with coir yarn/twine. Rubber strips are used at the bottom of this bootwiper as an anti-skid device.
  • the twisted in brush coconut fibre rods may be arranged in (fitted to) a desirable pattern/design and the sizes of the said fibre rods in the base frame may be pre-planned according to the chosen pattern/design.
  • the arrangement of these twisted in brush fibre rods of the base frame may be a desired pattern but generally the twisted in fibre rods are in the same plane as the fibre rods covering the steel wire frame and the upstanding three bootwiper rods are parallel to the shorter side of the rectangle on the upper face of the base frame.
  • Bootscrapers with steel wires incorporating fibres have the distinct disadvantage of getting corroded due to frequent presence of moisture.
  • the brush fibres are stationary and fixed to a steel wire frame without allowing any movement or without any gaps in between them.
  • the conventional type of bootwiper made out of twisted in fibre rods with a helical wire grid also presents limitations on designs and patterns, which are restricted.
  • the bootwiper with metal/steel wires could cause damage and injury.
  • the objective of the present invention is to overcome most of the disadvantages of the prior art bootwipers and floor mats and also using as far as possible ecologically friendly recyclable material such as natural fibres, rubber and coir twine, and avoiding plastic materials.
  • the invention also permits introduction of various additional cosmetic effects, designs and patterns of the bootwiper by using different colour types available for those materials.
  • the invention may be introduced with unbleached fibre circular brush rods.
  • Another objective of the invention is to overcome the high production costs of conventional bootwipers made of expensive material such as metal / steel and plastic components which have to be injection moulded.
  • the base frame may be arranged with twisted in fibre rods such as to obtain predetermined designs by using different cut lengths of fibre rods and placing them as per the required pattern/design.
  • the design may be linear, round, square, zigzag, octagonal or any other desired shape or design as shown in the drawings.
  • This circular twisted in fibre rods enable the entire circular surface to be used and the dirt can fall under the mat while providing air circulation for rapid evaporation of the frequently present moisture.
  • the bootwipers are made in such a way that the base mat has circular twisted in fibre rods placed in a pre determined pattern/design and the three wiper rods are placed on the top surface of the base mat in such a way that two are at the extreme ends, fitted onto the shorter side of the rectangle and the balance one at the centre resulting in the coir yarn twines being symmetrical to the centre rod.
  • the invention provides a bootwiper which is made out of a metal wire frame covered with a circular twisted in brush fibre rod and other cut lengths of fibre rods held tightly together with a unique coir yarn harness.
  • the preferred embodiment of the invention essentially consists of the following parts.
  • the frame is made out of galvanized wire and twisted in brush fibre rod to accommodate cut lengths of twisted in fibre rods giving a desired pattern/design.
  • Fig. 3 where the coir yarn/twine is bound/ inserted into the cut lengths of fibre rods placed in a pre-planned pattern/design within the rectangular GI wire frame.
  • Figs. 1-4 and Fig. 6 it is clearly seen how the twisted in fibre rods are arranged to obtain the bootwiper with the desired pattern/design.
  • the coir yarn/twine is bound/ inserted as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4
  • the twisted in fibre rods are at equal intervals and are so placed to be symmetrical to the wiping fibre rod placed at the centre of the base frame, thereby creating a unique twine harness holding the fibre rods in place.
  • a coiled GI wire is coiled around each rod (Figs. 7 and 7A) to strengthen the resistance of the rod in the base held together by the twine harness, to overcome breaking and to minimise crushing of the fibre rods in the base.
  • the user can stand on the base platform section to wipe the sole and the three upstanding transverse/ perpendicular twisted in fibre rods x, y and z shown in Fig. 6 wipe the side portions of the shoe/boot.
  • FIGs. 5 and 6 Three upstanding twisted in fibre rods x, y and z are placed at the two extreme edges (x and y) parallel to the shorter sides of the rectangle of the base frame and the third one z is placed right at the centre.
  • Figure 6 clearly indicates the position of these three twisted in fibre rods x, y and z, which are placed parallel to the shorter sides of the rectangle of the base frame, as bootwipers wipe the sides of the boot, when a person stands on the bootwiper.
  • the components of the bootwiper are unique and novel and therefore are made systematically with specific purpose skills and essentially with custom designed machines and apparatus with specially trained skilled labour. Due to the natural ecologically friendly and unique twine harness and non rusting materials used, the said bootwiper could be produced in a variety of colours and patterns to provide a matching effect to the place of its use and suit any individual user's taste.
